No. Any vestige of hope I’d had disappeared.
Not Regent.
I’m going with Jack, then. He’s the kind of guy who would say this, and when I first read the line it was in his voice in my head.
Jack leaned over the counter. Burnscar stood beside him, looking troubled.
Heya!
And Burnscar too, howdy!
“Jack! Yes! I’m having lots of fun! These people are so interesting,” Bonesaw smiled.
I love her so much.
“You hurt yourself,” Jack frowned. “Your mouth.”
I like how he can tell it’s she who hurt herself, not Parian (visibly up and moving) or Skitter (the place is filled with bugs) who hurt her.
“The doll-girl ambushed me. But I’m okay. I can fix myself after I’m done here.”
Yeah, no big deal.
“You’ll have to finish fast. We’re going.”
“No!”
…huh. Saved by the Jack?
I guess the reason they’ve decided to go is the ongoing assault on their location.
